Birthed from the Eugenics Movement, practices of contraception are still a controversial matter as they carry with them the history of states in the US targeting and deciding whowas allowed or desired to reproduce. As a result in some parts of the south, this gave rise to a phenomenon known as the Mississippi Appendectomy in the 1920s-1980s. This was the medical practice that provided involuntary steriliztion to poor, black women who were deemed unfit to reproduce. The term itself was coined by Fannie Lou Hamer, who was a civil rights activist who was also sterilized without her consent.

In this episode of “The Journey of My Mother's Son” podcast, I sit down to talk with Amy and Joe Rogan. Amy and Joe are fellow full-time nomads, traveling in a van, rolling with the punches that life throws at them, and making wonderful memories. They are currently working on their first book, Happy Medium, which is scheduled to be released in the Spring of 2023. Amy has had extensive personal and professional experiences. All of these experiences combine into a powerful perspective of technical expertise with consideration for creative and emotional wellbeing. Professionally, Amy had an extensive career in the fashion industry as a technical fashion designer before transitioning into an entrepreneur. She has worked for companies such as QVC and Disney in product development.  She then partnered up with Joe in their entrepreneurial adventures with their granola bar business, elite coffee catering business, network marketing businesses, and more. She keeps them organized with the back-office details and planning events. Personally, Amy has triumphed over multiple serious health issues including Fibromyalgia, Manic Depression, Anxiety, Insomnia, as well as having multiple surgeries: Appendectomy, Cholecystectomy (Gallbladder), Hemithyroidectomy (removal of half the Thyroid), Supracervical Hysterectomy with Unilateral ⁠Oophorectomy (removal of the uterus, fallopian tubes, and left ovary with large endometrial cyst as well as endometriosis adhesions.)  The chronic and severe pains have given Amy a different view of life and what's most important to her. Gratitude is the foundation of happiness. After Joe was labeled as "learning disabled" he discovered self-reliance and determination to experience the world as he sees it, from a different point of view. That label drives him to prove they did not understand how to teach a creative mind. After getting a Bachelor's degree in computer art and traditional animation, Joe has always kept drawing even though he gave up pursuing his career to take care of Amy. He worked various jobs, each leading to new and exciting experiences building to the next one.  As a UPS driver, Graphic Artist for a T-shirt printing company, Bartender, Catering Floor Captain, PR for his own YoYo Business, Published Illustrator, and Gig Economy worker, he has learned valuable life skills and built lasting relationships. His entrepreneurial heart and persistence have created multiple businesses and explored high-risk/high-reward opportunities. His ability to see the bigger picture takes us to places we never thought possible. You can find out more about the Rolling Rogans at www.rollingrogans.com.

Appendectomy remains the first-line therapy for acute appendicitis, but treatment with antibiotics rather than surgery is appropriate in selected patients with uncomplicated appendicitis. JAMA Associate Editor Anthony Charles, MD, MPH, from UNC School of Medicine summarizes this and other aspects of acute appendicitis in adults along with author Theodore N. Pappas, MD, from Duke University Medical Center. Related Content: Diagnosis and Management of Acute Appendicitis in Adults Acute Appendicitis

Theme: General SurgeryParticipants: Dr Michael Haddock (ED consultant), Dr Sergei Tsakanov (general surgical Fellow), Sunny Rajput (ED trainee), Edgardo Solis (general surgical registrar), Shreyas Iyer, Samoda Wilegoda Mudalige, Kit Rowe, Caroline Tyers, Harry Hong and Yelise Foon. Discussion:A Randomized Trial Comparing Antibiotics with Appendectomy for Appendicitis. The CODA Collaborative. (2020), 383(20), 1907-1919. https://doi.org/10.1056/nejmoa2014320.Summary: This study was undertaken in the United States towards the end of their initial COVID-19 wave.   The results were reported at 90-days, however, they still have analysis intended for the first 2 years (so it is an ongoing study).    It looked at patients 18 years or older, with image-confirmed acute appendicitis in emergency departments across 25 centers in the United States.    Septic, diffusely peritonitic, complicated, or recurrent appendicitis patients were excluded.   The study compared antibiotics (with IV antibiotics for at least the first 24 hours, followed by oral antibiotics to complete a total 10-day course) with appendectomy.   The primary outcome was a ‘general health survey' which was conducted at the 24 hours, 1-, 2-, and 4-weeks, and 3-, 6- and 12 months following discharge.   The secondary outcomes included resolution of symptoms, adverse events, complications (including abscess formation, C.diff infection, the requirement of a more extensive operation, perforation, and neoplasm rates), ED presentations related to appendicitis, length of stay in hospital, and days of missed work (for patients and caregivers).   The results of this study found that antibiotics were non-inferior to appendectomy at 30-days according to the ‘general health survey'.   However, representation to the emergency department was significantly higher for those treated with antibiotics (9% compared with 4% for appendectomy patients), as were adverse events.   It is important to note that the presence of an appendicolith is an indicator for complicated appendicitis (carrying the risk of ischemia and subsequent appendiceal perforation) and an increased likelihood of failed management with IV antibiotics alone- however, such patients were included in this study.   Take-Home Points: Acute uncomplicated appendicitis may be considered for treatment with IV antibiotics alone, although an appendicolith would still exclude a patient from this at this stage in most cases.   10% of patients treated with IV antibiotics alone will fail in the initial treatment phase and may represent to the emergency department during their antibiotic course.   Thus, the emergency department may start to see a new cohort of patients; rather than ‘post-operative complications', we may start to see ‘post-non-operative complications' (such as recurrence, intra-abdominal abscess, or those from antibiotics themselves).   7/10 of patients will be able to avoid an operation with antibiotics in acute uncomplicated appendicitis.  However, long-term data (over the course of more than 5 years) is still required to characterize this issue further.   Credits:This episode was produced by the ­­­­Emergency Medicine Training Network 5 with the assistance of Dr Kavita Varshney and, Deepa Dasgupta. Music/Sound Effects Sound effects from https://www.free-stock-music.com.

If you want something done right, they say to do it yourself.  This is not typically recommended for surgical procedures but when you're stranded in the hostile climate at the bottom of the world, a surgeon's gotta do what a surgeon's gotta do.

Dream for you, reality for us. For thousands of years, Devil has been using his sons and helpers to defeat humanity. Sometimes it unleashesefreets on us. Sometimes it gets stuck in us in exchange for our own mistakes... Does our Allah leave mankind helpless? Of course Allah hasn't gave permission this. Allah never authorizes. The inhabitants of the spiritual realm "prophets and guardians" are sent to the Muslims and choosing, teaching them various secret Sciences and methods of fighting "Devil". Aim of These sciences are treatment of diseases, besides illuminating details about the evils that "Jinn and demons".Here you will find the breathtaking experiences of life devoted years to healing people for Allah's consent and then will be found their deep knowledge within the scope of ledun's science.

Adam and Kyle put on their doctors

Dr. Ryan Martin is an orthopedic surgeon at the Foothills Medical Centre in Calgary, Alberta. We talked to him about what it was like to be a sports doctor for the Calgary stampeders, and the preparation he does for going into the operating room. Dr. Martin received his medical degree from the University of Ottawa. He later went on to complete his Orthopedic surgical residency at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary (Calgary, AB). After completing his surgical residency, he began his sub-specialization. He completed his Orthopedic Trauma Fellowship at the Hospital for Special Surgery - Cornell University (New York, NY) and his Sport Medicine and Arthroscopy Fellowship at the University of Toronto (Toronto, ON). Since returning to Calgary, Dr. Martin has taken up practice centered out of the Foothills Medical Centre. While running a busy Level 1 trauma practice he has focused on the arthroscopic treatment of traumatic knee conditions involving fractures as well as cartilage and ligament injuries. Dr. Martin travels nationally and internationally to lecture and present his research. He serves on several committees including the Trauma representative for the University of Calgary Orthopedic Surgery Residency Training Committee, Co-Chair of the Canadian Orthopedic Residency Forum and Co-lead of the bulk Allograft Cartilage Transplantation Program. He also serves as an Orthopedic Surgeon for the Calgary Stampeders Football Club. When his is not working Dr. Martin spends most of his time with his wife and son. He enjoys skiing, mountain biking, playing hockey and painting. Links: 1.

The following episode is a didactic activity. Our goal is teaching family medicine residents about these diseases and prepare them to treat their patients. We hope those who are suffering from these diseases do not find this activity offensive. May you find an appropriate treatment and get better. Consult your own family medicine doctor to learn more. Similar but different, sound-alike but opposite, analogous but heterologous. Welcome to the Sick Duel, an epic comparison between two merciless opponents. Our rivals today are: Ulcerative Colitis, “I will show you how to ulcer”; and Crohn’s Disease, “I will drill your guts”. Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of inflammatory conditions of the GI tract. Ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease are the main representatives of these disease. Today we will hear why they don’t get along and hopefully we’ll come to a good end. Here we have our first guest Arreaza: Who are you?UC: Ulcerative Colitis is the name, and inflammation is the game. They say to save the best for last, so I tend to stick to the rectum and distal colon.  I like to come and go (no pun intended), creating episodic, mucinous diarrhea for my victims that is usually bloody.  I can be mild or severe, depending on the extent of mucosal involvement and level of inflammation.  Arreaza: How do you manifest?UC: I like to make my victims as uncomfortable as possible, creating urgency, pain, and constipation, while leaving them with a feeling like they aren’t “done” yet (aka tenesmus).  Arreaza: I thought you said diarrhea, and now you mention constipation?UC: Yes, I may cause periods of constipation when I am merciful, but diarrhea when I am cruel. Regardless of the thickness of the stools, I give them a mucinous and usually bloody discharge, sometimes leading to anemia. I like to attack extra intestinal organs such as the skin (causing pyoderma gangrenosum and erythema nodosum), the eyes (causing uveitis), and the joints (causing arthritis). Yes, my aunt Cronh’s can do some things right!6. Arreaza: I’ve heard Ms Cronh’s is really mean. Where else do you go?UC: Occasionally, I’ll make my way to the liver and cause primary sclerosing cholangitis.  My primary goal though is creating crypt abscesses and ulcerations.  If I’m lucky enough, I can progress to a fulminant, toxic level creating systemic symptoms and abdominal distention.  I hope to eventually make my way out of the GI tract through perforation (who doesn’t like a pinata?). Arreaza: I can see why your last name, colitis, can be deceiving, you can actually get out of the colon… Who are more likely to be your victims?UC: I like to run in families. I prefer people who eat lots of fatty foods (Standard American Diet anyone?), high omega-6:omega-3 ratio, with history of previous bouts of gastroenteritis.  HLA autoimmune association, especially HLA-DR2. Even though smoking is a risk in many diseases, in my case, cigarette smoking may protect my victims from my attack, but if they smoked before and quit, I have a better chance to show up.Arreaza: How do you get caught?UC:  My victims tend to have chronic diarrhea for at least four weeks.  Because I am an inflammatory villain, many inflammatory tests can be non-specific such as ESR, fecal calprotectin/lactoferrin, etc.  Therefore, if you want me, you’re gonna have to come and get me.  Beware of your hospitalized patients, as a colonoscopy will greatly increase my ability to form a toxic megacolon and perforation!  Flexible sigmoidoscopy is recommended and will show you crypt abscesses, friable mucosa, decreased vascular markings and my continuous pattern of inflammation, yes, continuous, you gotta be consistent, unlike Ms. Crohn’s who likes skipping like a loser! How do you get eliminated? (What humans call treatment)UC:  When my victims aren’t suffering as much as I’d like, those doctors first like to throw anti-inflammatories at me (such as mesalamine).  If that doesn’t work, they’ll throw in some steroids. However, if I’ve really done my job, then treatment usually starts with some immunomodulators (Azathioprine, Infliximab, etc.) followed by steroids with the goal of inducing remission.  If all else fails, they’re just gonna have to remove me along with my victims’ colon, so surgeons are their last resource to get rid of me!Arreaza: What determines how bad you will be? (Prognosis)UC:  Several factors influence my prognosis such as age of onset. Victims older than 50 have more chances to have a steroid-free remission. I hate smoking! Smoke does not let me grow, so when a patient quit smoking I can be more aggressive. When the intestinal mucosa heals early in the disease, my victims have a better prognosis. My chance of extension is higher in more distal areas, for example, patients with proctitis have 50% chance of extension. If my victims had an appendectomy before age 20, they have less chances of hospitalization and colectomy. With treatment, my victims may experience long periods of symptomatic remission along with intermittent exacerbations, although a small percentage may continue to have chronic symptoms and are less likely to achieve remission. The latter may require lifelong therapy or possible colectomy (Physicians 1, Me 0).  Ulcerative colitis, you really know how to ulcer. Now we invite our next guest.Arreaza: Who are you?Crohn’s: Hi everyone, I’m Crohn's disease and unlike UC I don’t only affect the colon but I can affect any area of the GI tract from the mouth to the anus. Not only can I affect the whole GI tract but also, I can affect all the layers of the GI wall. Doctors like to call that “transmural inflammation”. Also, I can be sneaky, showing symptoms for a long time before diagnosis or I can happen all of a sudden and be diagnosed acutely.How do you manifest?Crohn’s: There are a few ways I can show up, but mainly I cause crampy abdominal pain, diarrhea either bloody or non-bloody, fatigue and weight loss. If I’m only located in the distal ileum, then I will give you right lower quadrant pain. Since I have transmural inflammatory forces, I can cause formation of sinus tracts that can result in abscesses or phlegmons. Phlegmon is a word that a lot of radiologist like to use and it pretty much means the formation of an abscess but not yet an abscess, so it can’t be drained but can treated with antibiotics. Sinus tracts can end up in microperforations or even fistulas. A fistula is when a connection forms between two tissues that are not supposed to be connected and, yes, it kinda sucks for my victims, especially when this connection happens between the bladder and the colon and you end up with urine mixed with feces coming out of either end. Ohh and if it connects from the GI tract to the skin then you may have continuous leakage of feces. WOW! I’m terrible, I know…Arreaza: You are really mean!On a lighter note, sometimes I cause no symptoms… at least not for a while until I make your GI tract so narrow that you defecate less frequently and end up having pain, and eventually your tract becomes obstructed. Man, yeah this pretty much sucks too. My bad!Arreaza: I know you have more, tell us more about you.I almost want to stop telling you anything else but there are a few more things. For example, I could give you aphthous ulcers in the mouth, pain in the esophagus or difficulty swallowing, abdominal pain, watery diarrhea, steatorrhea or oily diarrhea. OMG there's a bit more; last but not least some people may also have: arthritis of large joints, skin disorders like erythema nodosum or pyoderma gangrenosum and very few will experience hepatobiliary involvement such as primary sclerosing cholangitis or even eye issues like uveitis, iritis and episcleritis… among others.Arreaza: You and your nephew UC really like going out of the GI tract, but I think you are more adventurous. Who are more likely to be your victims?Crohn’s: Unlike UC, I actually like smokers, smoke helps me thrive! Those who have antibiotic exposure are at risk, also those with increased fats in diet, and maybe a little increased risk with NSAIDs and OCPs. Appendectomy may be a result of hidden CD vs a risk factor. If you want to avoid CD, high fiber and a Vit D supplementation are associated with decrease risk of CD. If you were breastfed, you have lower risk to get CD.How are you caught? (diagnosis)Crohn’s: You can usually suspect CD when there is a combination of suggestive features, such as RLQ pain, chronic intermittent diarrhea, fatigue and weight loss. Laboratory tests can show anemia, vitamin B12 and Vitamin D deficiency (malabsorption). Diagnosis is made certain via imaging, endoscopy and histological findings that show the aforementioned “transmural inflammation”. I think everyone will remember this “transmural inflammation” sign.How can your victims fight you? (treatment)Crohn’s: The treatment will be different depending on where I’am at, how bad I am and whether you want to stop me or keep me quiet. If I’m mild, then you can use oral 5-aminosalicylates like sulfasalazine or mesalamine, glucocorticoids, immunomodulators such as methotrexate or azathioprine; and biologic therapies such as infliximab, adalilumab, etc. Yep, these are some pretty tough names to combat a tough disease like me!If I am moderate to severe then you’ll need a combo of meds: anti-TNF like infliximab plus an immunomodulator. The GI doctors are my archenemies! What determines how bad you will be? (prognosis)Crohn’s: It can vary, most of the patients will experience a continuous progression while about 20% of patients can experience remission after initial presentation. Risk factors for progressive disease are smoking, age

Hello! In August 2019, I had another endometriosis surgery with an appendectomy. That surgery left me with stump appendicitis that caused me to have to have another surgery to fix the stump that was left behind. I'm sorry I ended this episode so abruptly. I didn't expect to have so much emotion while telling this story. It's still very raw for me. Thanks for listening.

Erika is from Ontario, CA. She is 26 years old and just finished University. She is aspiring to be an actress so she can help spread more awareness about Endo.  She had pain from the start with her period that transitioned into daily pain, as well as other health complications mostly in the GI area, and was diagnosed with IBS. One day in University was doubled over in pain and took a cab to the ER and had an appendectomy, her Appendix had Endo lesions, this is when she diagnosed with Endo, the ER doctor did not know much about Endo but she moved forward to find a doctor who could help her understand the disease deeper as well as the internet.  Listen to the rest of her journey on the show.  Want to keep the conversation going?  Join our Facebook Group: tiny.cc/7mpbnz Thank you for listening and supporting this podcast.

Abdominal pain is common; so are strongly held myths and legends about what is concerning, and what is not.   One of our largest responsibilities in the Emergency Department is sorting out benign from surgical or medical causes of abdominal pain.  Morbidity and mortality varies by age and condition.   Abdominal Surgical Emergencies in Children: A Relative Timeline General Advice Neonate (birth to one month) Necrotizing Enterocolitis Pneumatosis Intestinalis. Essentials: Typically presents in 1st week of life (case reports to 6 months in chronically ill children) Extend suspicion longer in NICU graduates Up to 10% of all cases of necrotizing enterocolitis are in full-term children Pathophysiology is unknown, but likely a translocation of bacteria Diagnosis: Feeding intolerance, abdominal distention Abdominal XR: pneumatosis intestinalis Management: IV access, NG tube, broad-spectrum antibiotics, surgery consult, ICU admission Intestinal Malrotation with Volvulus Essentials: Corkscrew Sign in Malrotation with Volvulus Bilious vomiting (80-100%) in the 1st month; especially in the 1st week May look well initially, then rapidly present in shock Ladd’s bands: abnormally high tethering of cecum to abdominal wall; peristalsis, volvulus, ischemia Diagnosis: History of bilious emesis is sufficient to involve surgeons Upper GI series: corkscrew appearance US (if ordered) may show abnormal orientation of and/or flow to superior mesenteric artery and vein Management: Stat surgical consult IV access, resuscitation, NG tube to decompress (bowel wall perfusion at risk, distention worsens) Hirschprung Disease Essentials: Problem in migration of neural crest cells Aganglionic colon (80% rectosigmoid; 15-20% proximal to sigmoid; 5% total colonic aganglionosis) colon (known as short-segment disease) Poor to no peristalsis: constipation, perforation, and/or sepsis Diagnosis: May be diagnosed early as “failure to pass meconium in 1st 48 hours” In ED, presents as either bowel obstruction or enterocolitis Contrast enema Beware of the toxic megacolon (vomiting, distention, sepsis) Management: Resuscitation, antibiotics, NG tube decompression, surgical consultation; stable patients may need rectal biopsy for confirmation Staged surgery (abdominoperineal pull-through with diverting colostomy, subsequent anastomosis) versus one-stage repair. Infant and Toddler (1 month to 2 years) Pyloric Stenosis Essentials: Hypertrophy of pyloric sphincter; genetic, environmental, exposure factorsString Sign in Pyloric Stenosis. Diagnosis: Hungry, hungry, not-so-hippos; they want to eat all of the time, but cannot keep things down Poor weight gain (less than 20-30 g/day) US: “π–loric stenosis” (3.14); pylorus dimensions > 3 mm x 14 mm UGI: “string sign” Management: Trial of medical treatment with oral atropine via NGT (muscarinic effects decrease pyloric tone) Ramstedt pyloromyotomy (definitive) Intussusception Essentials: Majority (90%) ileocolic; no pathological lead point Small minority (4%) ileoileocolic due to lead point: Meckel’s diverticulum, polyp, Peyer’s patches, Henoch-Schönlein purpura (intestinal hematoma) Diagnosis: Target Sign (Donut Sign). Ultrasound sensitivity and specificity near 100% in experienced hands Abdominal XR may show non-specific signs; used mainly to screen for perforation before reduction Management: Hydrostatic enema: contrast (barium or water-soluble contrast with fluoroscopy) or saline (with ultrasound) Air-contrast enema: air or carbon dioxide (with either fluoroscopy or ultrasound); higher risk for perforation than hydrostatic (1% risk), but generally safer than perforation from contrast Consider involving surgical service early (precaution before reduction) Traditional disposition is admission; controversial: home discharge from ED Young Child and Older (2 years and up) Appendicitis Essentials: Appendicitis occurs in all ages, but rarer in infants. Infants do not have fecalith; rather they have some other anatomic or congenital condition.  More common in school-aged children (5-12 years) and adolescents Younger children present atypically, more likely to have perforated when diagnosed. Diagnosis: Non-specific signs and symptoms Often have abdominal pain first; vomiting comes later Location/orientation of appendix varies Appendicitis scores vary in their performance Respect fever and abdominal pain   Management: Traditional: surgical On the horizon: identification of low-risk children who may benefit from trial of antibiotics If perforated, interval appendectomy (IV antibiotics via PICC for 4-6 weeks, then surgery) Obstruction SBO. Incarcerated Inguinal Hernia. Essentials: Same pathophysiology and epidemiology as adults: “ABC” – adhesions, “bulges” (hernias), and cancer. Diagnosis: Obstruction is a sign of another condition. Look for cause of obstruction: surgical versus medical Abdominal XR in low pre-test probability CT abdomen/pelvis for moderate-to-high risk; confirmation and/or surgical planning Management: Treat underlying cause NG tube to low intermittent wall suction Admission, fluid management, serial examinations   Take these pearls home: Consider surgical pathology early in encounter Resuscitate while you investigate Have a low threshold for imaging and/or consultation, especially in preverbal children   Selected References Necrotizing Enterocolitis Neu J, Walker A.

Appendicitis is one of the most common reasons people undergo abdominal surgery. Lost in history are the reasons why appendectomy was performed in the first place, and in the hundred years since appendicitis was first described, many changes in patient management have occurred improving both the diagnosis and treatments for appendicits. A major trial, Antibiotic Therapy vs Appendectomy for Treatment of Uncomplicated Acute Appendicitis, was recently published in JAMA showing that most patients with acute, uncomplicated appendicitis can be treated with antibiotics alone and avoid surgery.

For the first time in a long time we talk Ant, man. Rob, David, Alex. All Ant-Man all the time, except the Appendectomy part.

A discussion with Dr. Richard Frazee, in regards to a successful protocol for outpatient laparoscopic appendectomy in acute appenditics.

Prefixes are key morphemes in English vocabulary that begin words. The prefix ex-, with its variants e- and ec-, mean “out.” Examples using this prefix include exceed, eject, and eccentric. An easy way to remember that the prefix ex- means “out” is through the word exit, for when you exit a room, you go “out” of it.Like this? Build a competent vocabulary with Membean.
